Presenting data: how to convey information most effectively
Friday 20th February 2015
About the event:
For information to drive change it must be
interpreted and understood. Sometimes important
messages are not actioned because they are not
conveyed in a way which motivates change. In this
seminar we discuss the importance of considering
how to present data to your audience. We give some
clues on how data might be displayed and tips on
how to avoid presenting data. At the end of the
day, we anticipate delegates will better understand
different methods and techniques that can be used
to present data in a way that can optimise impact.
Who should attend:
This event is relevant to:
• Clinicians;
• Early career researchers;
• Hospital administrators;
• Quality managers;

Dr Gary Deng is a Lecturer of Statistics at the Department of
Statistics, Data Science, and Epidemiology at Swinburne University.
He completed both his undergraduate and postgraduate studies at
the Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics at Monash
University. He has also spent a number of years working as a
research fellow at the same department. His main research areas
are in spatial econometric modelling and time series modelling. His
most recent research interests are in Bayesian variable selection
and shrinkage methods and their applications in spatial structure
identification.
Dr Jessica Kasza is a biostatistician in the Department of
Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine at Monash University.
After completing a PhD in 2010 at the University of Adelaide, she
spent time at the University of Copenhagen, before returning to the
University of Adelaide. She has been at Monash University since
April 2013. Her work with registry data has included the development
of statistical methodology for the comparison of the performance
of healthcare providers, and for the investigation of changes in the
performance of providers over time, with major application to the
Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society Adult Patient
Database. In addition to these topics, she is interested in causal
inference methods for the comparison of treatments, with particular
application to data from the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and
Transplant Registry.
Mr Chris O’Gorman has over 25 years of experience in Health and
hospitals holding Executive Director and senior management roles
in public teaching hospitals in a casemix/ABF funding environment
in Victoria. Since 2009, as a consultant to the Health Roundtable,
Chris has led the Costing Improvement Group in the development of
peer-based, management costing briefings, highlighting significant,
potential savings opportunities across participating health services.
The costing group produces cost analysis across the patient journey
of Inpatient, Emergency, and Outpatients including standard cost
reports, peer comparison briefing reports, and cost vs. revenue
analyses for around 40 - 50 hospitals across Australia and New
Zealand. Over the last five years, Chris has consulted to a range of
organisations including the Victorian Department of Health. Projects
include examining the development of performance measures to
assist health service performance monitoring, and reviewing the
current state and future directions of clinical costing in Victoria in
an ABF environment.
Associate Professor Arul Earnest is an Associate Professor with
the Biostatistics Unit in the School of Public Health and Preventive
Medicine, Monash University. His current research interest is in
Bayesian spatio-temporal models. For more than 15 years, Arul
has provided consultative and collaborative methodological input to
various collaborators. The outcome for some of this work has been
more than 120 publications in a variety of peer-reviewed international
journals, including BMC Health Services Research, BMJ and JAMA,
numerous presentations, as well as several research awards. He
has extensive experience in conducting talks on biostatistics and
research methodology.
